in the dos prompt when i use the ipconfig command it tells
me that that is a bad command/filename. could this be due
to a user not having administrative priviledges?
No. It probably means one of these things:
1. You typed the command name wrong, or:
2. The Path variable has the wrong value. Enter this command:
set Path
Here's the output from the command on my XP computer:
Path=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH
Try running this command, which specifies the complete path of the
executable file:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ipconfig.exe
